In Home Care Services in Bal Harbour, FL

As Baby Boomers age, they have created a new demand for in-home caregiving services. People want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible, and this is a much lower cost option than a nursing home, especially when they only need help with small things like grocery shopping or light housekeeping. More specialized in-home care is available for those who require it, such as hospice care, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and other types of skilled nursing.

"Thank you 'Assisting Hands' for making a difficlut family transition into a supportive and nurturing one.

I live 3,000 miles away from my parents and when they became ill quickly and needed home care on a daily basis with some overnight care, I called them for help. The team at Assiting Hands were professional, flexible, and very caring. Each of the caregivers (3) were experienced and provided me with the support I needed for my parents. My parents bonded well with the caregivers and enjoyed the company and cooking. When my father's illness declined, AH was there to help with all of the last minute changes. The Administration Office could not have been more helpful. I highly recommend them."

Alzheimer's Care

Rating 5

"Thank you Assisting Hands for helping me in such short notice. My father has Alzheimer’s and I have had some help from a family friend for some time now during the day while I am at work. Unfortunately my caregiver was injured in an accident and I was left without help. I called Assisting Hands and they were able to come to the house the same day to meet with us and were able to find a compatible caregiver to begin helping my dad right away. They were very informative and made me feel very comfortable during the whole process. So far so good and my dad seems to be adapting well to the caregiver."

Overnight Care

Rating 5

"Assisting hands has made it much easier for me to sleep at night not having to worry about who is with my loved one. I live over 700 miles away and it is not possible to just jump in the car and run there. Assisting hands has taken the worry about that away and I have gotten top notch care for her and 24hour round the clock service. They keep me informed always and they keep a check on their caregivers by doing spot checks and calls. They are truly top notch in my book. I would not hesitate to recomend to anyone needing their service. My mother bonded well with the caregivers and enjoys their company as well. Thank you assisting hands !"
